The Breast Book presents a wealth of information, from the anatomy of the breast to its cultural significance and sexual character, from breastfeeding and breast self-examination to cosmetic surgery, benign breast changes, and breast cancer. In her uniquely sympathetic style, Dr. Miriam Stoppard gives indispensible advice on breast care at all stages of a woman's life—from early menstruation to menopause and beyond—with particular emphasis on the early detection and treatment of breast cancer.
